Well that was certainly refreshing; 116 points with a 10 point deduction for a blown lock. I can't believe you did that to me, Seattle.
Vikings will do what Norsemen have done for centuries, slay bears. Minnesota by 16 LOCK
The Ohio championship trophy will rest near Lake Erie. Cleveland by 12 LOCK
Chiefs will be playing for a bye week, but only if Patriots lose. Kansas City by 17 LOCK
Dolphins do not win in Foxborough in December. New England by 13 LOCK
Falcons fly south, but this is not a migratory trip. Tampa Bay by 9
Jets shuffle off to Buffalo but stumble once they get there. Buffalo by 13
Packers put some Lion meat in the can. Green Bay by 16 LOCK
3 teams looking for the NFC bye week, and Saints are one of them. New Orleans by 14 LOCK
The passes on I-5 and I-15 leading out of LA were blocked by snow. Maybe the desert dwellers should stay home. Los Angeles (National Conference) by 13 LOCK
Perhaps we can call this one the "Cure for Insomnia Bowl" Jacksonville by 6
And this one might be called the "New Jersey Turnpike Toll Booth Bowl" Philadelphia by 9
Ravens might have their taxi squad in to play this one. Baltimore by 18 LOCK
Titans need this one for a shot at the wild card. Tennessee by 3
Seahawks could put 49ers into the wild card game while clinching a home game for themselves. Seattle by 7

Well, it comes down to this-the hardest week of the year to predict (lol), even more so than week 1. Who's "mailing it in" and who's playing for their coaches, etc. So, here goes nothing.
NY Jets by 7 (Buffalo has nothing to play for)
Cincinnati by 3 (The Browns can't start the off season fast enough, and Dalton wants to go out in fashion)
Green Bay by 17 LOCK (Detroit is not the same team without Stafford, and Green Bay still has a chance at a higher seed)
Kansas City by 20 LOCK (Chargers mailing it in)
Minnesota by 10 LOCK (Bears just want to end this season)
New England by 27 LOCK (Game still matters to the Patriots and seeding)
Tampa Bay by 6 (Arians has them playing above their heads, though Atlanta has played better down the stretch, expect a shoot out.)
New Orleans by 14 LOCK (Can still get number one seed)
Dallas by 14 LOCK (Must win)
Oakland by 3 (Denver is playing better, but Oakland needs this plus 4 other things to make the playoffs with 5 of original 10 happening last week)
Arizona by 7 (confidence brewing after last weeks big upset)
Philadelphia by 4 LOCK (must win)
Jacksonville by 3 (Duuuvvvalll, if I lose this because of my picking of the Jaguars, so be it. I think Indy wins, but I just can't pick them.)
Baltimore by 17 LOCK (Nothing would make many Raven fans happier than eliminating the Steelers. Plus who's left to play for the Steelers?)
Houston by 4 (Tennessee needs the win more, and I've flipped several times on this game, but these teams know each other so well, that I think the home field is the difference, as Watson makes a special play late for the win)
Seattle by 7 (They've been here before, in a must win scenario. Wilson gets it done, but barely)

There are 2 occasions when I should never do my NFL picks. The first is when I am tired, and the second is when my wife is in the room and wants to talk to me. Both were the case Friday night when I did my picks, and I managed to omit 2 games. Please add the following:
Raiders want to stay alive, even though they will never return to the Bay. Oakland by 6
William S. Hart, Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, and Randolph Scott will not be on the Cowboys' side in this Western Movie. Nonetheless the Native Americans will suffer yet another defeat. Dallas by 17 LOCK

If my math is right, I may have just held on and won by one point. Which means, my picking of the Jaguars today may have won it for me/lmao.
posted by jagsnumberone at 11:37 PM on December 29, 2019
